Resolutions.

So, Christmas time is upon us once again. Was it not July just last week? Or is my life seeping away before my very eyes without me knowing anything about it? Time to change! Yes people, it's not only Christmas, it's resolution time. How many did you make last year? And more to the point, how many did you keep?
I made none last year. I never stick to them, so why bother was my attitude. This year has completely changed my attitude. Sooooo....I've decided to make some resolutions and not only try and keep 'em but, post 'em on here so I can have you lot on my back about them too. So, here goes.
1. Learn to say no.
2. Gain some confidence.
3. Make time in my life for the people that really matter.
4. Meet a man. (I'm human! I don't want to be on my own forever and I'm no spring chicken.)
5. Concentrate on building a business. Maybe go to University.

That's about it this year.
Gulp. It's gonna be one scary year!

Building Blocks of Life.

Hello, hello, hello.
I know I've been away for awhile, but my regulars will know that I've had a lot to process over the last few weeks. A lot to come to terms with. And I believe I have come to terms with most of it.
#1 daughter is happily settled into her new home with her partner and is quite the little domestic goddess.
#2 daughter is like the proverbial duck to water with motherhood.
And I'm slowly coming to terms with my mother's condition.
Life is a funny old thing. In one way or another we deal with every blow that's dealt to us. And sometimes, nae, most-times, it makes us strong enough to deal with the next thing life throws in our direction.
These challenges seem to be the building blocks for adulthood. But are they really?
Like a kid that's built the wrong building with Lego, he knocks it down and rebuilds. Wouldn't it be great to be able do that with life.
It's cliché to say I don't regret anything in my life. So yes, I put my hands up and say yes! I regret a lot of decisions in my life. But if I never made those decisions  how different would my life be? Is it a case of 'better the devil you know?' No-one is capable of answering that question so we all carry on and make our decisions, whether they be right or wrong. We are all born to die. It's the decisions we make during our time here that decide how happy we are. Or are the decisions we make already mapped out for us?
You decide.
